Fishing Memories

1 week ago | bcoutdoorsmagazine.com | Michaela Ludwig

After a lengthy winter of sitting on the ice and jigging in the cold for fish, the warmth and longer days of spring are a welcome respite. Jumping at just about any and all opportunities to spend some time near or on the water, it comes down to being a good excuse to be outdoors and take in the fresh air. Fishing is accessible to people for a multitude of reasons, the most obvious being how simple it is to get set up.
Jigging For Kokanee

2 weeks ago | bcoutdoorsmagazine.com | Michaela Ludwig

When someone mentions jigging for kokanee in British Columbia, most people think about ice fishing. But this vertical method of fishing is becoming more popular during the open water fishing season because it is effective and saves fuel in the process. YouTube is a great source to visually see how people are jigging for kokanee.
Spring Has Sprung

Nearly a month after the first official calendar day of spring, it’s safe to say spring has actually sprung around these parts. The windstorms have blown the last of the rotten ice off many of the larger lakes, the snow has melted from most of the south-facing slopes and lush patches of green grass are dotting the landscape.

There’s a lot of excitement and anticipation in the air as you prepare for a trip to the ocean. Be it going through tackle, checking over the traps and rods, you’re feeling refreshed and ready to hit the road. After the trip? A slightly different story.
How To Make Balm Of Gilead

1 month ago | bcoutdoorsmagazine.com | Michaela Ludwig

The fragrant scent that emits from the buds of trees in the Populus species is one that is synonymous with spring – rich, fresh and invigorating. If I could capture the smell in a jar to have beside me all year long, I would. The good news is, you can jar up that smell by making a batch of balm of Gilead. In addition to smelling amazing, this salve is an all purpose one that can be used to provide relief to small abrasions, dry skin or insect bites.
Whitetail Tacos • BC Outdoors Magazine

Tacos are one of our favourite easy dinners to cook up on those evenings when it feels like there’s not enough time to get all things done. While I like to use stew meat for this recipe, that’s because we butcher all our own wild game – and I spend a significant amount of time trimming the meat to ensure even the stew meat melts in your mouth when pan fried.

Unravelling The Mystery Of Fannin’s Sheep

2 months ago | bcoutdoorsmagazine.com | Brian Harris |Michaela Ludwig

It’s late summer, the beginning of hunting season in northern BC. Mark and Vince pack up a small mountain of hunting gear and leave Vancouver Airport for Fort Nelson. Upon arrival, the two men retrieve two crates and arrange for transportation further north to Stone Mountain Provincial Park. There, from the crates, they assemble two mountain bikes and two trailers loaded with gear. Following old mining roads, they head into the northern Rocky Mountains.
Venison Steak Sandwich

Give me all the steak sandwiches, please! This is not the time, nor the place to be using up those higher-end cuts; in fact, this is the opportunity to maybe use up that pack of steaks that has been rolling around in the freezer for a while. The only non-negotiable? Making sure to cut the steak against the grain, to prevent a chewy mouthful.
OPINION: Holding The Government Accountable

2 months ago | bcoutdoorsmagazine.com | Steve Hamilton |Michaela Ludwig

Oh, what a legacy he leaves. As we continue along in this new year, we find ourselves facing yet another round of firearm bans introduced by the government – adding even more restrictions to Canada’s already labyrinthine gun laws. In the waning moments of his leadership, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has made a last gasp effort to establish some kind of “legacy” for himself, and not have his leadership reduced to one embroiled in scandal after scandal.
